Description: | A probable copper-alloy pin, likely to have been used in a female's hair, although possibly for securement of clothing. The pin appears not to be complete with a portion of the lower shaft missing. Wear at the end of the remains of the shaft suggests that the break was in antiquity. The pin has a knopped head. It then tapers before flaring to two bulbed collars. Although the distance between the collars and the head seems a little unusually in this example (8 mm), it nonetheless seems likely that this artefact is in fact Roman. Similar examples are illustrated in Crummy (29, 467-474).
